The Best Raspberry Jam Filled Muffins (Secret Ingredient)
Raspberries are one of my favorite fruit. I even planted raspberry plants all around my yard.
I can enjoy fresh raspberries all summer long, they are amazing just to eat fresh from the garden.
That being said, sometimes, I want to make magic with my harvest and I decide to make this raspberry filled muffins recipe.
This easy rasberry muffins recipe is delightful and too simple to not try!
Ingredients You’ll Need To Make Jam-Filled Raspberry Muffins
All-Purpose Flour
Although I’m sure you can use other types of flour for this recipe, I usually stick to all-purpose white flour since it’s the safest and easiest to find for this raspberry filled muffins recipe.
Fresh Raspberries
Fresh raspberries are the best option for this raspberry muffin recipe. Indeed, frozen raspberries tend to melt and be mushy.
They will add a lot of unnecessary liquid to the mix which is not ideal.
Raspberry Jam
You can use store-bought raspberry jam or you can even make your own muffin filling by making homemade raspberry jam!
Sour Cream (The Secret Ingredient)
This is the secret ingredient for a divine muffin texture every time!
for chewy muffins, it’s all in the sour cream!
It is undetectable in taste and gives the little extra you expect from a perfect muffin.
If you don’t have any on hand, you can use the same amount of mayonnaise (yes!) or plain Greek yogurt.
White Sugar
I use white granulated sugar for this recipe and it works like wonder.
Eggs
Helps the muffins to be extra moist and fluffy.
Baking Powder
Again, super important to add baking powder as it will help create air in the mixture making your raspberry muffins extra light and moist.
Pinch of Salt
Don’t skip the salt! It enhances the flavor of all the other ingredients!
Equipment You’ll Need
✦✧ 2 Mixing Bowls
✦✧ Spatula
✦✧ Muffin Pan
✦✧ Electric Hand Mixer – I use this one
✦✧ Cooling Rack – I use this one
Can I Use Jelly Instead of Jam?
Technically if you only have jelly at home and don’t want to go to the grocery store JUST for raspberry jam, yes, you can use jelly.
Will it be the same? Absolutely Not!
Jelly uses the essence of fruit juice while jam is made with the whole raspberry.
I know it sucks when you’re missing an ingredient, but raspberry filled muffins are worth stuffing with REAL raspberry jam, I promise!
How To Store These Raspberry Muffins
I like to store my muffins in the fridge for longer freshness.
Indeed you can expect your jam-filled raspberry muffins to last 7 days in the fridge.
Simply warm them when ready to serve😉.
Can I Freeze These Raspberry Jam-Filled Muffins?
Yes! I always freeze half of my batch because I don’t trust myself not eating all 12 of them in the same week!
You can freeze these delicious muffins for up to 2 months no problem!
- Let them cool to room temperature
- Put Your muffins in a freezer-friendly plastic bag
- Take out as much air as you can from the bag
- Close and store the bag in the freezer.
